But the real world is not written by Nicholas Sparks. We live
without scripts, there are no cuts. We cannot fold the pages to re-experience
our favourite parts or fast forward the scenes we want to edit out. We cannot
pause and look up for meaning of words we cannot understand and go back to the
sentences we underlined just when the mood strikes.
In the real world, we slow dance to life’s ups and downs... even
to the ugliest, darkest parts... at its own pace... Face the consequences of
our actions in stride, even if it will alter the direction of our sails.
At some point we have to break free from our bubble wrap of
comfort zones. Be not afraid to say goodbye when needed and unplanned. Even if
the fear of its permanency is heartbreaking. Even if we know there’s no
guarantee that after we part ways, we will kiss and make up when the storm has
passed.
But while doing something against our will is the hardest and the
pain is inevitable, at the end of the day, when we ask ourselves if we did the
right thing, we know we would be able to say: YES we did. And that
allows us move on and travel light, free from baggage of the past.
